Walk like a man And talk like a man Walk like a man, baby You can call me your man A little girl asked me what am I gonna do When I get old and blue and worn clear through And I said by that time I'm gonna be in my prime I'm gonna strut like a cock until I'm 99 I'm gonna walk like a man And talk like a man Walk like a man, baby You can call me your man Sometimes I feel it's getting late In life all that settling down can wait Till my routine days all seem the same Right now I've got to get on out I've gotta make my day I'm gonna walk like a man And talk like a man Walk like a man, baby You can call me your man Walk like a man And talk like a man Walk like a man baby You can call me your man
